Ithaca Waterfalls | Hiking, State Parks & Gorges
My all time favorite hike/park in the area! great for someone looking for a challenge, and you can have a little picnic after
Buttermilk Falls State Park
Such great wine tasting options here, as well as fantastic scenery for a nice walk or photos!
Six Mile Creek Vineyard
such a beautiful place to explore on a trip to Ithaca! especially early fall and summer time!
Cornell Botanic Gardens
Such a cutie little market, they have all sorts of stands and everyone is friendly. It overlooks the water too so definitely a must see if you're in the area
Ithaca Farmers Market
beautiful state park! one of my personal favorites as a college student, love getting out and doing hikes here
Taughannock Falls State Park | Hiking trails & Camping
such a fun outing idea if you live or visiting the area!
Museum of the Earth
great for families, but also anyone who is a science nerd! Kids and adults love it here, and there's many places in the surrounding area to do before and after
Sciencenter
a bar with great vibes! usually one of my first choices, and very central in the commons if you want to bar hop!
Bike Bar
Great for an outing with 21+ and under, the mocktails are fantastic. great for photo opportunities and they have games to play!
The Greenhouse Cafe & Cocktail Lounge
My favorite place to go to celebrate, great vegan and vegetarian options. Food and drinks are always fantastic. Everything is local which makes it all the better
Moosewood
I loved having get togetheres here with my friends! One of the more relaxing, lowkey places around to stop and get a drink. Love the live bands they get too!
South Hill Cider
This is the prettiest area, I love to walk around here, especially in the early fall and late spring! Cornell's scenery is one of the best!
Cornell Botanic Gardens
Another one of my fav hikes around Cornell! It's about a mile, but many trails come off of it, so it's truly up to you how you make the walk!
Beebe Lake
Hands down the best ice cream place in the commons. Some may disagree but I loce cayuga lake creamery!
